A Horse Laid Down in the street

A balky horse belonging to our popular
draymaD, Stewartsop, laid down in the street
the other day leaving the driver with az inn
mcnse load on bis truck in the lurch. Did
the dryer get mad and hammer the sulIeu
brute, hold his nose or put handful Of gravel
in his ear ? Not he. He simply leaned over
and whispered confdentalIy in Dobbins ear,
when the old nag was up and off an instance
never stopping untilhe pulled mp in front Of
one Of our busiest stores All he said TO the
bAlky horse was ''Please get up and try
again for it is only two more blocks to VAL

there we will unload This is fact. by the
way, that is about the goods, for they are

A MAN ABOUT TOWN.

When a man gets down how he does get
kicked OF course Il Is not the proper thing
10 embrace him Il he has shown that he Is
unworthy of confidence but he at least
should not be etcrnaly kicked II he says he
Is going TO refrom, at least until he does
something to indicate that he Is playing
"possum.'
Phrenologist Morris IN his private lectures,
however much he may have sometimes
missed the mark on his examination of
bumps. gave some very solid advice. The
Professor spoke without gloves against
many social evils that certainly need reform
Jackets, and set many TO thinking, and there
are many who need TO be set TO thinking In
Albany, particularly In reference TO the
management Of children who have reached
the love.sick age with the lower part OF the
cerebellum developed too much.
Those who knew George r. Wilson In
Albany regret deeply hearing OF the Turn
er's affair II the charges against him are
true he deserves a greater punishment than
he received. Whatever the law may be II
Is fact that few blame a brother for pro-
tecting his sisters virtue, or revenging II,
even Il a little blood Is split The protection
of the good name of the family freside Is
above most other considerations. The use
of force may not be favored but when
used the public may be excused for "wink-
ing" at il.

Senator rarwe1l's Texas Land.

Senator Charles v. Farwell, of Illinois,
and his partners, his brother and Abner
Taylor, of Chicago, will make from Sl5,,
10000 to $50, ,OO0,0 900 in their Texas land
speculation. 1t is said that the state OF
Texas has given to the Farwell company
100000 acres of land in Texas. The
land today is worth So an acre, and tho
state buildings did not cost moro than
S1,0O0,000. The land is all fenced in.
Seventy-fve thousand cattle are now OIL
it, and more are to follow. 1t comprises
enough territory for principality. The
Farwell company have their headquarters
in London. English capitalists own about
one-quarter of the stock.
This great and successful venture was
brought to the Farwclls by an impecuni-
ous and visionary man, who obtained the
contracts which he sold to the Farwell
company. The story goes that the man
happened to be in Austin, and hearing
that the state was offering land to any
one who would put up state buildings he
calmly walked up and took the contract,
when he had barely enough money i'll his
pocket to pay his fare to Chicago. The
same men who gave away such block
OF lanu raLner tntln TllSc lNe money ueCco-
sary by taxation of course never dreamed
of questioning the contractors financial
ability. He had some trouble in convinc-
ing the Farwclls of the value of the land,
owing to their distrust of the visionary
contractors Judgment, but investigation
showed the value, and the contract was
purchased for Il few thousand dollars, and
u property was obtained which will net
its owners many millions.

The GuilIotino at Paris.

The distance from the prison door to the
guillotine is not more than twenty steps.
The executions take place at the dawn of
day, and as far rs anything being seen by
the crowd they are practically private.
Only the journalists and few privileged
ones are. admitted on the square. At 2
o'clock in the morning the cavalry and in
fantry of the Paris Municipal guard, 100
each, fifty cavalry gendarmes and az ut
500 policemen appear. The soldiers 4sh
back the mob so as to leave the entire
square clear. Shortly afterward the exc
cutioner arrives in large red wagon
which contnins the guillotine. The in
strument is packed in number of cases,
each piece being numbered. The aids put
it together, the work not lasting over half
ON hour. When the knife is in place the
headslman tries it's edge on small bundle
of straw to see that it slides easily and
cuts well. Just before the moment OF
execution the gendarmes range themselves
in horseshoe form around the guillotine
md two rows of policemen form line
from the prison door 10 the instrument.
1t is through this line that the condemned
passes Paris Cor. The Epoch.
